Lyrics
The still of the night is falling and I just can?t take anymore
My life is so empty without you, since you walked out the door
And it hurts to think it?s over, the love that we once had
And my heart is feeling so cold, why is love, why is love so sad
I know I?m not the only one, and that is my saving grace
The pain inside is so lonely. I smile like a clown with a face
People ask me if I?m alright and I just say okay
They don?t know that I?m a liar, ?cos my lifeless heart is grey
CHORUS:
What is love. What is love. That we must play
What is love. Who can say
What is love. What is love. What?s the answer
Only a broken heart can say
They say that love is just a game and each must play a part
There must be lots of losers, all with a broken heart
What a crazy game that love is, ?cos only two can play
And nothing else can compare, with the pain of love I?d say
CHORUS
So now you say it?s over, it?s time that you said goodbye
Just leave me in my empty room. Alone by myself to cry
Maybe some day I?ll forget you and that?s not easy to say
And this broken heart is praying, you?ll come back, you?ll come back some day
CHORUS
What is love?.What is love?.What is love?..What is love
